Aberdeen has been awarded $50,000 from the Community Economic Revitalization Board, to help find the next tenant of the former 520 pontoon construction site. Mayor Erik Larson said that along with an $18,000 match from the state Department of Transportation, the funds will help surplus the facility, and look at future opportunities for other industrial uses of the site that would create local jobs and help our economy.

Larson said in a Facebook post “I look forward to working with DOT, the Port of Grays Harbor, and Greater Grays Harbor to ensure we maximize the investment already made in this site to create a lasting economic benefit for our community.”

Here is the Facebook conversation on the Travelure Motel from that day’s post.
